Still taking Sign-ups for Hortiholics Anon. RR

17 years ago

This is a year long swap where you send plants, bulbs, seeds and special gifts to your buddy.

We are looking for a few more good gardeners ;-)

There is more detailed info on the first thread.

If you'd like to join in on our garden party, please sign up and I will get the questionnaire out to you ASAP.

Have a cup of tea and walk around and smell the flowers.

Happy Mother's Day

Tina

Hi Tina,

Thanks,

Ok guys, I am back. Had modem problems, had to have it replaced. First off I have not sent my box yet. Hubby gets paid today and it is going in the mail first thing in the morning, it is all ready to go just had to wait for money for postage and he only gets paid every 2 weeks. I have been in 2 different round robins where I didn't receive a box at all and I would never do that to someone else. I consider all of you my friends and while I may run slow at times I will get my box to you. Now second thing, I received the most wonderful box from my secret pal. We went to the mail house (my little girls name for the post office) and Kayla was absolutely delighted to see her name on the box with mine. We get home and get the box open to find, the most delightful smelling candle ( Strawberry shortcake), next we pull out passion fruit green tea (can't wait to try this), then doggie bones, so of course Kayla has to go right then and feed one to Lacey (our dog)who was thrilled since being an outside farm dog she doesn't get treats very often. Now finally we get to go back to the box, oohh a lovely bunch of christmas cactus (fuschia), I love these and I didn't have this color. Then Kayla spots something pink??? we pull it out and it is a beautiful set of bracelets for Kayla, it has 3 bracelets (pink, purple, and blue, her favorite colors) and letters that slide on the bracelet so you can make different words, So after a break to make her name on the pink bracelet we get to go look in the neverending box again. Ooooh a canna rhizome ("President") I love cannas and I didn't have this color either. Then I find another goodie, Hosta ("Antioch") another of my favorite plants and another I didn't have. Then last but certainly not least a lovely note tucked into the bottom of the box. i hope I didn't forget anything everything was so wonderful and I can't believe my secret pal knew me so well. This one box makes up for the other RR where I didn't get anything, THANK YOU SO MUCH SECRET PAL. Once again I promise my pals box will be in the mail in the morning and I have added a few extra goodies because of it being late. And I promise to do better next month. I love you guys and hope I didn't make anyone too mad at me. Hugs, Lisa & Kayla

Hello everyone, I received an e-mail back from Tina, explaining that I have been dropped from the swap apparently because I haven't posted enough and haven't sent my boxes out. I am posting to explain some things before i stop following this swap for good since apparently Tina doesn't want me in it. 1. I did have a very bad health problem and some computer troubles from time to time but so did our host and I have made several posts, I think probably as many as several other members. 2. I have sent every box due out. Granted when I was sick I did get behind but I just sent my pal 2 boxes at the end of September (1 for August & 1 for September) I have the conf # for all of these boxes to prove that. 3. I have not received any box in this swap since July and Tina (HummingbirdDaisy) was my secret pal. I know this because in August she e-mailed me saying she was sending 2 boxes that month (1 extra for Kayla which had some yardsale toys and clothes in it) I never recieved it or any others. 4. I am sorry that I failed to keep up with whatever swap rules I broke that caused me to be removed. I really enjoyed picking out goodies for Bogartbaby and her furbabies. She was my secret pal. 5. I was finishing up the Halloween kitchen towel and was planning a Christmas towel to go with your Spring one you already recieved and the Fall one that is in the box you just recieved or should be recieving soon. Let me know if you would still like to have them (would make you a set of 4 total) and I will be glad to send them to you. 5. I have been very dissappointed in the actions of our host even though I still enjoyed the swap and would have continued being in it even though Iwas not receiving boxes in return. I think the secretness of the swap itself has allowed some people to get blamed for things they didn't do and others to take or give credit for other things to other people and no one can tell since we didn't know who our secret pals were. For example who would have thought the host would fail to send out any except the very first box. 6. Just to set the record straight the questionaire sent in by YOUR_SECRET_PAL was me. I was trying to get more conversations going on in this swap along with trying to pick out the perfect Christmas gift for Bogartbaby. 7. If I sound angry in this post I do sincerely apologize, to be quite honest my feelings are very hurt at the moment. I do not understand why Tina would not have at least e-mailed me about all of this and knowing who was pal to who she should have been able to tell that I was sending boxes since Bogatbaby has always posted what she recieved in them. It also hurts that she is accusing me of not sending boxes when she herself has only sent me one box throuhgout the entire swap. I have not had a problem with waiting for her to get caught back up with her boxes because I "thought" she was being patient with me getting caught up also. Apparently she wasn't that patient and simply dropped me without telling me. I do hope no one on here will feel angry with me or not trust me. I do so enjoy GardenWeb, trading and my favorite is the Round Robins. I know that reputation is very important on here and would just hate it if no one wants to trade or parnter with because of this. And Bogartbaby I am sorry that I will not be your secret pal anymore, I really do think you are a really great person. I even had your furdoggies some new toys and Halloween goodies for October's box. If you want them or the other to crossstitch towels, please let me know. I will miss you all. Hugs, Lisa & Kayla

I received my box today from indyjoy. What a wonderful surprise. This is what she sent me 8 large cup narcissi bulbs, 4 candles, 3 of them are little pumpkins and the other is an orange candle, but she also sent something that is the cutest thing. It is a stuffed bear from the Bearington collection and she is all dressed up for halloween , holding a pumpkin. She has a green velvet hat on and her dress is green velvet with the skirt made in autum colors of oranges and greens. I already have a place for her in my doll room. I took my two sons bedrooms for my porcelain dolls I make when they left the nest. I have around 75 I have made. So she will be darling in there. She is just as cute as can be, I like every thing you sent Joy, and simpley love the bear. Thank you, Thank you. Ann

Hi Tina,
Do we have partners yet? I ask because my email isn't always reliable and some have said they have sent me emails that never arrive. Especially from the GW forum.

Thanks, I'm eagerly awaiting this months trade.
